  Introduction
  CLE Urdu 18 Point Size Distorted Instance Images is an image corpus collected from one hundred and ten pages which are scanned from thirty two books written using Noori Nastalique. These books have a variety of publishers, publication dates, paper, printing and transparency qualities and are selected from different domains such as literature, poetry, religion, biography, novel, interviews, culture/travel, history, autobiography, science, short stories and character representation. Up to six pages from each book are scanned at 300 DPI to generate image corpus.

Six hundred and thirty four distorted instances of main bodies are extracted from the image corpus. This collection includes a variation of images in which main bodies are either broken or distorted. In addition, main bodies having attached diacritics, noise or other main bodies are also extracted. A total of two hundred and twenty five distorted main body classes are distributed in separate folders.
